And of course the first letter of your surname! S
At BOM, they have a list of folks who were upgraded and keep on cross checking it with the pax BP as they board. If the list is long, then they miss you (BPs are not scanned but just collected and then scanned later on at a separate station) then you have to wait inside the a/c for a seat assignment until all pax have boarded, which is a pain. Fortunately, the list was only 4 pax long and she gave me a new seat assignment at the gate itself!
